The next offensive must focus on decimating the IRGC.

From what I've seen so far, Mike it seems like the US is tasked with destroying military assets while the Israelis are concentrating on taking out selected leaders of the regime. I'm guessing that has to do with the Israelis having better intelligence assets in Iran. They seem to know where the bad guys live.

I totally agree, BUT, there are way too many IRG left. We do need to concentrate on them.

When it happens it's going to happen fast, Independent! One moment the IRGC leadership will be talking tough and then the next moment they'll be slipping quietly out of Iran before the mob comes for them! That's the way regimes always end.

 

[multivita-man]

The IRGC will needs to be broken. They are already weakened, many thousands have defected already. Send them to their final reward with Operation 72 Virgins.

Well, they're not going to be.

 

[toomuchtime_]

Well, they're not going to be.

They are the de facto government of Iran, now.

AI Overview



Instead of breaking apart, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has seized wartime power and taken de facto control of Iran. The organization is consolidating command by marginalizing the elected civilian government and has openly emerged as the dominant force directing Iran’s internal and geopolitical strategies. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Key developments reveal the true nature of their growing authority:

• Open Power Grabs: The IRGC has largely sidelined President Masoud Pezeshkian, creating political deadlocks and directly contradicting the civilian government’s diplomatic statements.
• Military Dominance: Rather than breaking down, the military apparatus is increasing its operational footing. The IRGC recently concluded a massive, five-day "Martyr Commander" war drill near Tehran, claiming full combat readiness amid ongoing regional tensions.
• Control Over Foreign Policy: The IRGC has taken unilateral action in the region and aggressively asserted military control over the Strait of Hormuz, overruling the foreign minister's diplomatic negotiations with blockades and stern messaging. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

But it is already breaking down.

AI Overview



As of March and April 2026, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Iran's regular army (Artesh) are experiencing increased desertions, severe supply shortages, and internal friction. Rising desertions are driven by low morale, economic hardship, and intense,,, with reports of a 14% to as high as 90% desertion rate in some units. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Key Aspects of IRGC/Iranian Military Strain (2026):

• Widespread Desertions: Desertions are not limited to lower ranks, with reports of larger numbers of defections, particularly in cities like Isfahan and Tabriz.
• Rising Internal Friction: A deep, sometimes violent, rift has emerged between the Artesh (regular army) and the IRGC. The IRGC is accused of withholding medical support, food, and ammunition from army units on the frontline.
  • Failed Mobilization: Efforts to bolster forces, such as recalling retirees and offering amnesty to prisoners for security duties, have failed to compensate for the personnel shortages.
  • Low Morale: Personnel feel used as "human shields" while commanders remain secure. Pilots are reluctant to fly combat missions after air defense losses.
  • Economic Drivers: Severe cash shortages and a collapsed currency (Rial) have contributed to a,.
  • Severe Penalties: Despite the unrest, the IRGC has warned against "disobedience," threatening "decisive action" and utilizing military courts, with desertion sometimes punishable by death. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

Reports suggest this internal crisis is weakening the Iranian regime's ability to maintain control as it faces significant external pressures. [1, 2]

Iran is not doing well but they're not starving. They're still moving oil out of the country by hugging the coastline when they ship (away from the blockade) and also by rail, roads, and the Caspian.

They actually are starving. And there isn't a thing they can do about it. No water. No food. No medicine. No internet. No electricity. Their currency worthless. At some point the house of cards collapses.

They're not. I mean, I'm sure some are malnourished, but some are malnourished in the US, too. Iran still has running water. Still has food and food. The moment they don't have those things is the moment Israel and the Gulf States also don't have those things.

Not in this situation. Almost 30 ships went through the strait in the last two days.

Not in this situation. Almost 30 ships went through the strait in the last two days.

None of those 30 ships are bringing oil from Iran or delivering goods to Iran! The US is opening the Straight of Hormus to ships from other countries but the blockade against the Iranians is still in place.

That is what happens when you spend Billions of dollars on terror, nuclear weapons research, drones and ballistic missiles instead of building desalination plants! The IRGC did this to Iran and the people KNOW it!
